They praised God and were liked by all the people. Every day the Lord added those who were being saved to the group of believers. Acts 2:47 (NCV)

Dear Friends and Prayer Warriors,

Greetings from your coworkers to the Portuguese-speaking world!

We are in awe seeing the growth God is giving to His churches in Brazil.

Recife Church

The new church plant in Recife has baptized 15 this year. They had a unique baptism at the Boa Viagem beach, July 29. Bruno and his team are doing a great job in planting this new church.

Please, pray for Lukas, a week after he was baptized he was diagnosed with cancer and he is undergoing treatment.

Pray as the Recife Church looks for a bigger place to meet. They have outgrown the building they are renting.

In Sep Bruno Baptized Claudia and Junior.

Jundiai Church

Jundiai Church baptized 7, August 23!

Bom Retiro Church

On August 29, the Bom Retiro Youth Group spent the day at a camp and we were blessed to baptize Rafael, Thais and Igor. 

Valparaiso Church

Brother Edgar, Minister at Valparaiso Church, reported 8 baptisms. Valparaiso is one of the most violent cities in Brazil, Brother Edgar and his team do a great job working with the youth. 

Hands On Bible College

Our plan is to offer the Hands On Bible College at each local church. In August classes started in Pirituba, in September in Sao Mateus and in Portugal. The Hands On Bible College is being offered at Jundiai led by Ruben, at Campo Limpo Paulista led by Michel, at Pirituba and Sao Mateus led by Jeff, at Santos Dumont led by Luis, at Portugal led by Robert (Jeff’s brother) and at Mozambique led by Kleber. Pray as we plan and work toward offering Hands On Bible Colleges at all the local churches in Brazil and throughout the Portuguese-Speaking World.

Women’s Gathering

Monica spoke at Jundiai Church Women’s Gathering in August.

Brazil Ministry Transportation Need

We have a great need for a van for the ministry in Brazil and we are trying to raise $10,000 to purchase one. As of October 7^th we have received $1,075 toward this need. Thus we only need $8,925 to reach this goal. If you can help, please send your check to Brazil River of Life Ministries with "Brazil Van" written in the memo.

Change of Plans

Monica and I were planning to be in the USA in the end of the year for Roger’s graduation, however Roger is not graduating in December anymore. Thus we are not coming to the USA this year. When we have a new date for coming to the USA we will let you know.

Pray Request

Since we moved back to Brazil fulltime in May, we have faced lots of needs among the churches—especially among the church leaders. Please pray with us for wisdom in dealing with all the needs we are facing.

God is doing great things through BROLM among the Portuguese-speaking world, and your prayers and support are vital! Please continue to pray so the Lord will use BROLM more and more for His honor and glory!

May the Lord richly bless you in Christ Jesus!

God is good, all the time; and He is acting among us!

In HIS Love and Service,

Thanks for praying for us!
